Home Run - A Group Exhibition

Showcasing works by Manchester based artists Jack Berry, Jasper Cheng & Beth Murray.

"Home Run" is an art exhibition exploring contemporary youth culture and nostalgia. The name "Home Run" comes from Baseball, a sport of strike and score, hits and outs. The themes run parallel with the lifestyle of the three artists, challenging and competing against modern society as young adults, with energy and intensity.

From cigarette buds brought back to life, engulfed chaos of the city, to dreamlike realities populated by Y2K sensations, the works are not short of attempts to 'hit home' to their childhood roots for these 90s born artists. Together they share their passion of re-exploring the past, a sensation which has become the new, bringing it from their generation to the wider audience.

Join us at SEESAW on the evening of Friday April 12th for a private viewing of the artwork. The exhibition will run until May 9th and will be available to view during the cafe's opening hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-4pm.

'Make a Face with Me'

A mask-making workshop hosted by local artist, Eve Gittins.

Learn the basics of paper mache mask making with me in this playful beginner's workshop!

To start off we will satisfy our coffee fix, then run through the overall process, in which there will be a zine with step by step guidance to help you with the simple specifics of the face we will be creating. After these explanations we will have a laid-back session of making facial features from 10:15-12. This will be followed by a 45 minute break for lunch, with the rest of the afternoon to pull everything together and create the face of your dreams (or nightmares).

By the end of your day you'll have a decorative mask you can terrify your friends with. These will be left to fully dry in the venue and can be collected a few days after the event. At the end there will also be the most nightmarish option of all- taking part in a group photoshoot!
